India eSIM APN settings normally configure automatically. Change them only when the phone has signal but mobile data does not work and the plan instructions or NoveSIM Support require manual entry.
For NoveSIM, the manual APN is data.esim. Leave username and password blank unless support gives different instructions. An incorrect APN can stop mobile data, so record the existing value before editing.
NoveSIM travel eSIMs are data-only. A lack of conventional calls or SMS is not evidence that the data connection has failed; test a webpage with Wi-Fi disabled.
Quick answer: First select the India eSIM for Mobile Data and enable Data Roaming. If signal appears but data still fails and manual APN entry is required, enter data.esim, save or select the APN, toggle Airplane Mode and test again. Do not delete the eSIM.
Top India eSIMs
When should you change the India eSIM APN?
Review the APN only after confirming the basic settings:
- the India eSIM is switched on;
- it is selected for Mobile Data;
- Data Roaming is enabled on the travel line;
- Wi-Fi is off during the test;
- the plan is active and includes India.
If the phone shows no network signal at all, APN editing is unlikely to solve network registration. Use the broader India eSIM troubleshooting guide.
What APN should NoveSIM use?
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| APN | data.esim |
| Username | Leave blank |
| Password | Leave blank |
Do not copy an APN belonging to an Indian domestic operator or another travel provider. The correct value comes from the provider of the installed eSIM.
Check the APN on iPhone
- Open Settings.
- Tap Cellular or Mobile Data.
- Select the India eSIM or open Mobile Data Network, depending on the iPhone configuration.
- Enter data.esim in the mobile-data APN field when manual entry is required.
- Leave username and password blank.
- Return to Settings, toggle Airplane Mode and test mobile data.
Apple notes that APN editing is available only when the provider permits it. If the menu is absent, do not reset or delete the eSIM; contact support.
Check the APN on Android
- Open Settings.
- Open the mobile-network or SIM section for the India eSIM.
- Tap Access Point Names.
- Create or edit the relevant APN and enter data.esim.
- Save the entry and make sure it is selected.
- Toggle Airplane Mode or restart the phone, then test with Wi-Fi off.
Android menu names vary by manufacturer. Follow the settings for the selected eSIM rather than changing the primary SIM’s APN. See the separate India eSIM Android guide for Samsung and Pixel navigation.
What if data still does not work?
- Recheck the spelling of data.esim.
- Confirm the saved APN is selected.
- Verify that the travel line remains selected for data.
- Disable automatic data switching.
- Leave network selection on Automatic initially.
- Restart the phone and test a normal webpage.
Keep the profile installed and contact NoveSIM Support if these reversible checks fail. The India eSIM no-internet guide helps separate signal, registration and data-routing problems.
